  1. I'm irritated. Apparently not qualified enough to be a CNA

    justme1972 replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    Send out applications....leave the 4 year degree off. I'm serious. They probably know that you'll be there for a short period of time and that is why you are not getting

  2. Have you taken one of these Stats courses for Frontier entry requirement?

    justme1972 replied to mitchsmom's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Most colleges will usually pre-approve a course for you before you take it. All you have to do is contract the registrar's office, tell them the name of the college and the course number (sending a...

  3. GPA REQUIREMENT: Overall or Pre-Nursing Courses

    justme1972 replied to gkbroaro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every nursing school is different and they set their own GPA requirement. Some calculate your overall GPA, some do it on specific courses, such as pre-reqs only. Here is the catch: Many nursing...

  4. Ahhh!!! Anyone else feel this way?! Do you think I passed?

    justme1972 replied to nicole2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have been on this board for awhile and have yet to see someone post in the NCLEX forum, "I just got back from the NCLEX exam and I nailed that sucker!" Nope...never. Everyone thinks that they failed...

  5. Munchausen's by Proxy?

    justme1972 replied to Patient's topic in Psychiatric

    That doesn't sound like Munchausen's by Proxy. That sounds more like ignorance. The problem is that the mother is too ignorant (and I mean this not in a mean way) to know how to properly medicate the...

  6. Should I be upset? Or am I making a big deal out of nothing?

    justme1972 replied to redhead09's topic in General Nursing

    I have a really, really politically incorrect view on this subject. There are some teachers that give respect, and get it back. Then there are some that think that just because they have "nursing...

  7. NP providing Rx across state lines?

    justme1972 replied to revolution's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We had a physician that served 5 years in prison in my area. In addition to having tons of records for scripts of patients that he never saw before, when the local pharmacies started to figure it out,...

  8. Well, I think I just flunked out of nursing school today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    I appreciate everyone's kind words. It probably wouldn't hurt so much if I hadn't been working so hard and have given up so much. When I went over my last exam with my instructor, I took a note of...

  9. Does a CNM do post-partum repairs?

    justme1972 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I know that it sounds like a silly question...but I was just sitting here thinking about it, and was wondering if it fell under the category of surgery, therefore, would a CNM not be permitted to...

  10. Is this an outdated visitation policy?

    justme1972 replied to Burnt Out's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    When I did my externship this summer in L&D, we had a baby that had clear lungs for two days, and then on the third day, was congested. Pediatrician, who was covering for the regular physician...

  11. NP providing Rx across state lines?

    justme1972 replied to revolution's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would think this practice would be stopped at the Pharmacy when the prescription was getting filled. Don't they check for these

  12. Nursing School Weight! Help!

    justme1972 replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The trick is bulk. I take an apple (lot's of bulk..and banana's are fattening and loaded with carbs) and those Natures Sweet and Salty Almond bars. They are about 180 calories, packed with protein...

  13. Should I quit Nursing School???

    justme1972 replied to sns501's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    well, there are a couple of ways to look at it. my husband is gone through the week and between that, clinicals, classes and study time, mom is "busy" alot. the kids know that "studying" is the "s"...

  14. Can OB's override hospital protocols?

    justme1972 replied to JentheRN2007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    sorry...edited.

  15. Differences of Pharmacy technician

    justme1972 replied to Nursebarebari's topic in General Nursing

    Two years would probably be a waste of time unless your state requires it. The longest I have seen is a 1 year program. 2 years is a

  16. No laptops in class, seriously?

    justme1972 replied to mothersuess's topic in General Students

    Our classroom bans laptops but not recorders. Reason...it would be very distracting to hear 50 students with the rat-a-tat-tat going on for 2 hours of lecture. They give us pre-prepared notes and we...

  17. Out of school 3-4 months and still no job!!!

    justme1972 replied to kcsb12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One thing that all future new graduates need to remember, is that many of the hospitals that do pre-hiring for graduation start in February/March. That means by the time May rolls around, and those...

  18. Does a CNM do post-partum repairs?

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Very, very interesting :) I did my externship in L&D this year, and I only got to see, out of all of them this summer, oh...about 2 or 3 that were natural. Thanks

  19. Had some labs done on Friday....results have me worried...

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Update: I haven't had a chance to see the physician yet (they are waiting for my second round of labs to get back). On the order sheet for the labs they are running a check for ionized calcium, PTH,...

  20. question about withdrawing???

    justme1972 replied to hushpupgrl's topic in General Students

    "W's" are NOT factored into the GPA in any form, way or fashion. I have never seen a college that held W's against a student. I have W's on my record and not once has anyone said anything about it....

  21. Tomarrow is Injection Day!!!

    justme1972 replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

  22. Defaulting on sign on bonus

    justme1972 replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Some hospitals will prorate it, most are not. However, here is an easy way to make the decision: You say you have been there 1 1/2 years, which leaves about 6 months left before you owe them nothing....

  23. Help! No official transcripts d/t school fraud!

    justme1972 replied to afranklin's topic in General Nursing

    Anytime you know you will be eventually attending a traditional institution, it's very important that you let them know in advance, and meet with an advisor, of where you plan to take other classes...

  24. If a new RN had an MSN in Nursing Administration...

    justme1972 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    ...what kind of job outlook could they have? I'm talking of an RN with no nursing experience. I'm just curious if anyone knows, or if it makes any difference at all. The reason I am asking is that...

  25. Fetal death after maternal death

    justme1972 replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This was a very common practice during home births where there wasn't a doctor for miles and miles, especially during the earlier part of the century when most people didn't have cars and a hospital,...
